This Little Japanese Girl And Her Pet Poodle Will Make Your Day

Looking for new friendship goals? Then look no further than Mame and Riku.

Mame is a one-year-old Japanese girl, Riku is a giant poodle, and together they make the cutest companions you’ve ever seen. Mame’s grandmother documents their adorable exploits on Instagram, where the perfect pair have almost 80k followers. She also has two other dogs, Gaku and Qoo, but Mame and Riku seem to be particularly inseparable. Whether they’re sleeping, reading or playing on the trampoline, they seem to do everything together and they’re rarely far from each other’s side. Wish you had a friendship like this? We certainly do!
By the way, did you know that giant poodles, otherwise known as royal poodles, aren’t actually a separate breed of dog? They’re just common marketing terms to refer to very big standard poodles, which can weight more than 60 pounds (27kg).
